I downloaded the zip archive mysql-8.0.12-winx64 and followed the instructions to install on Server Core (headless). But nothing works and there are no error messages. Even when I type mysql -version, there is a pause and then back to a prompt. Nothing displayed. Same with mysqld --intialize.

I added the .Net features to the server core and tried it again but still no install, nothing.
